A Ban on Comic Sans!





It may seem totally irrelevant to most, but Comic Sans MS was a staple in the 90's. The type face was used to mimic the text used in comic books, and it has eventually become something of a joke. In 1990, a married couple decided to start a campaign to ban Comic Sans. They were not alone in their dislike for the font and quickly gained a following.

The maker of the typeface is a man named Vincent Connare. While working for Microsoft he designed the font and it took off. The relevance of this ban of Comic Sans to a print shop is in all the printing we have done with that type setting. Clients mix a high class design with Comic Sans typeface which spoils the look of the work all together. There are a plethora of fonts to choose from, but none have been as heavil discussed as Comic Sans. There is never a reason to talk about something unless it is important, and Americans have strong feelings about their font.

All in all The Printing Factory has no reservations. Everything that we print is without biased. A print design is personal, but no offense comic sans isn't popular.
